How this will help

Thousands of our military members are currently serving or deployed, leaving thousands of military families without a loved one during the holidays.

While it's important to recognize those who serve, we must not forget the families that serve with them. When you consider all of the wives, husbands, kids, siblings, parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles affected, there are millions of people with an empty seat this holiday season - at the dinner table, around the Christmas tree, at a school play, or just at home with their family.

This holiday season, you can make an impact by simply thanking a military family member. Thank them for the sacrifices they make so we can enjoy the holidays with our own families. Or, thank them for loving and supporting our troops. Whatever you decide to thank them for, we invite you to do it in your own way. This time of year is especially hard on military families so take the pledge to "say thanks" and share your story here for others to see.
